It was early in the morning (0430), I got called into work, the winows in the truck were fogged up, so I turnedon my rear window de-froster and front window de-froster. As I turned the corner out of neighborhood (less than 1/2 mile) I heard a loud bang and I thought I hit something. I stopped the truck and got out to inspect it, after seeing there was no damage to the body I looked up and saw a large hole in my driver's side rear window the size of a grapefruit. As I was inspecting the window I touched the lower left corner and burnded my finger. It was like touching a light bulb that is on. I immediately turned the de-froster off and checked the passenger side rear window and it was at a normal temperature.

Bought a brand new 2015 Dodge Ram 1500, the first week I had an issue with one of the windows not going back up, about a month later I was driving and the new knob shifter, went into neutral by itself while I was driving. Meant to take it in, but had been so busy with work, that I was going to wait until the first oil change. I noted those two issues on an email review/survey that Dodge hounded me to fill out. Exactly two months after owning the truck on July 28th, the same day I made my second payment, I was at the garage at work, left the truck on and put it in park, got out of the car, closed the door and as I was getting ready to go around the truck to go inside my job, the car started to back out by itself, I tried getting back into the truck to stop it but unfortunately, I failed, the truck almost ran me over. Thankfully a cement beam stopped this from happening.

This truck has an exhaust smell in the cabin that my wife and I have been noticing gets more prevalent as the vehicle gets more miles. I drove the truck about 8 hrs Thursday night March 27th and into the morning of Friday March 28th. By the time I got to my destination I had an extreme headache, nausea, burning eyes nose and throat. It was 0230 am, I tried to rest and sleep but was too ill. After approximately 9~10 hrs I went to the hospital to get checked, and document what I believe to have been exposure to exhaust fumes. The dr put me on oxygen and gave me anti nausea medicine. They drew a blood gas and told me that I had only slight signs of exposure unfortunately due to the time that I had waited to come in to get checked. I would like to know that this incident is reported as it seems to creep up and could cause an accident !
